Stevia - Naturally good?
Stevia is considered the most natural non-nutritive sweetener because it comes from a plant. If you were consuming only the leaves, this would certainly hold ground. However, what you are actually consuming is a concentration of steviol glycoside - a chemically altered version of the leaf. Some tout stevia as the miracle sweetener, while others couldn't disagree more. Studies have called it a carcinogen, while other studies say it has medical benefits. Proponents of its use say that it can help improve medical conditions from diabetes to heart disease. Stevia has been used widely in Japan since 1970, but was only approved by the FDA in 2010. While stevia certainly seems like an improvement over other artificial sweeteners, it may not deserve the halo of health it has received - only time will tell. As far as using stevia, keep in mind that like any sweetener, it should be consumed in moderation.

Learn about Erythritol, found here
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol occurring naturally in fruits. However, it is much cheaper to produce industrially. This is done by fermenting glucose with a yeast called Moniliella pollinis. Erythritol is only 60% as sweet as regular sugar. It has almost no calories - only 0.2 calories per gram vs. 4 calories for sugar (1/20th of the calories!). An advantage Erythritol has over other sugar alcohols is that it is absorbed by the body and therefore does not cause cramps or bloating.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers. People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

"Natural" is an unregulated term!
One in four new products launched in 2010 had a label claiming it was “Natural”. But did you know that there is no regulatory definition for “Natural” foods? While there are strict standards for Organic labeling, it’s pretty much a wild west when it comes to the use of the word Natural. Hence you can find chips made from “all natural potatoes”. Has anyone ever seen an artificial potato?

Why don't sweeteners get an A?
All sweeteners, zero calorie sweeteners and sugar included, stimulate sweet taste buds. By feeding your sweet tooth, you will continue to have cravings for sweet foods. Sugar, honey and even artificial sweeteners can cause the insulin in your blood to rise, which can promote fat storage. Best to keep ANY sweetener to a minimum, zero calorie, natural or otherwise.
